Spring Bedroom Mantle

Our spring mantle in the bedroom has all the shades of lavender that are in the quilt on the bed. (If you want the details about the quilt, there is a post below this one.)

I hung a beautiful vintage flamingo print over the mantle. I bought this picture at a yard sale a couple of years ago for .75! Yes .75! There were some missing mirror tiles on the frame, that were easily replaced. There was a small water stain in the top left corner that I covered with a floral design

I love it, despite it's flaws!

This is the floral design that I put over the water stain.

This is a set of flamingos that my mother purchased in the 50's....

And these are some flamingos that I have found at yard sales.

I replaced the red chair that was here for Valentines day with a wicker chair...

This is a sweet little bunny doll that I bought a long time ago..I think from an ABC Catalog. Are they still in business or do you remember them?

Here is a vintage pansy doily..

I still don't have the heart to take down my vintage wedding dress tree...

The frame on that vintage Turner flamingo print is stunning! Too bad about the water stain, but you camouflaged it so beautifully. Are the candle stands on either side of the print vintage as well? They are Gorgeous!! Love all the little flamingo figurines too. Warm Hugs,

I'm sending the bunny doll I bought at the Hospice store for $5 to a relative. Where can I start/begin to tell you all that I love about room. I love the pink and lavender flowers. The mirror I would have snapped up in a heart beat.

The white wicker is gorgeous. I love your dresser(?) that has the drawers at each side. I love to decorate using vintage pearls. Cute flamingos and from your mom makes them extra special. The lights at the bottom of the fireplace.

Hi Penny, Your springtime bedroom is gorgeous. Love your mantel and all the romantic touches you add. Your mother's quilt is beautiful and the colors are so soft and pretty. Love the sweet lavender sign hanging from the mantel.Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs, Celestina Marie

Love the flamingo's - have a few in my backyard and I snap them up whenever I can find them. Your bedroom is simply beautiful. Love your wedding dress tree - if you love it - leave it up and change the decorations for each season or holiday.Thanks for sharing....Mary
